SRM’s cryptocurrency consulting offering will provide its financial institution clients with guidance and support in this new frontier. These services will range from providing basic education around this sector to assisting with strategy development, vendor selection, and implementation.

In spring 2021, the company launched its Crypto University, a weekly symposium highlighting breaking news, hosting guest speakers from leading industry experts, and providing a format for the industry to learn about cryptocurrency and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) at an accelerated pace. Guests have included leaders and experts from NYDIG, Fireblocks, FIS, Fiserv, Bitcoin Depot, and upcoming invitees Coinbase and CipherTrace. “Cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Decentralized Finance are now major industry drivers. It’s crucial for financial institutions to fully understand the opportunities, risks, and rewards of getting involved with these technologies so they can develop and execute their cryptocurrency strategy,” said Larry Pruss, senior vice president, SRM.
“We see the use of cryptocurrency in financial services falling into three categories: efficiency, transparency, and accessibility,” Pruss added. “By offering a cryptocurrency consulting service, we’re able to provide banks and credit unions with the guidance and support they need so they can stay relevant and keep up with customers’ evolving expectations and needs.”
